Computer blue screens and programs keep crashing

[virtualsoutheast]

I have an ASUS gaming laptop that's less than 2 years old, and lately, it’s been acting up with frequent blue screens, the most recent error being IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. I’m also experiencing other issues, such as:

Unity games crashing randomly
W and S keys sticking or not responding during games
7 and 8 keys not responding half the time
Discord app crashing
Web browser crashing intermittently, especially on Amazon
Indie games struggling to run properly, while more demanding games like Overwatch and Monster Hunter World run smoothly
Any ideas on what might be causing these problems or how to fix them? Thanks!

Hi virtualsoutheast
Your laptop might have both hardware and software issues. Update your drivers and Windows to fix the blue screen. Reinstall graphics drivers using DDU to help with game crashes. Clean your keyboard for the sticking keys, and if that doesn’t work, it might need repair. Reinstall Discord and clear your browser cache to fix crashes, and run a memory diagnostic to check your RAM. Also, run sfc /scannow in Command Prompt to fix system file issues. If none of this helps, it’s best to have the laptop checked, especially if it’s under warranty.

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL is a Windows Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) error message that indicates a problem with a driver or hardware. It occurs when a system process or device driver tries to access a memory address it doesn't have access rights to. The error is often caused by: Corrupted system files, Incompatible device drivers, Faulty hardware, Damaged or incomplete software installation, and Faulty RAM.

done! ​

Win 11 is NOT plug and play with all motherboards they may be compatable with some devices and some mother boards but don't assume any MB is plug and play compatable get the appropiate autodriverupdate software for your motherboard. These devices in device mananger are not displaying the question mark error. This is why youshould go to your MB app shop for the driver tool requiredor attempt to down lioad it with app uploads. I use ASROCK bords and their not plug andplay compatable ASUS boards are similar so they may also not be plug and play compatable in the year 2000 most devices wern't plug and play compatable we had to install the software ourselves then with win xp plug and play worked but now with the loss of expertise with computers due to the overload of filesto make somthing work they can no longer guarantee plug and play compatable with any OS, MB and software.

Blue screen of death, tabs crashinf, puter rebooting and usb intermittant or just not working these are classic cases of driver issues. We can no longer trust the device mananger to show us what is not working. During my quest overthe last few years to find out why my harddrives and usb were dying I have finally got my computer running like a dream simply by installing the correct drivers for my motherboard. Some manufactures are becoming aware that win 11 isn't plug and play and are once again supplying available drivers. I do feel for you guys that have grown up with plug and play as it will be hard for you to correct the driver issues even the best computer guy I know couldn't repair my computer but thankfully I now have mine running like a dream.
